Thanks! I looked on the Canon site but the US one :P. I used blower for dust, a microfiber cloth for the stuff that does not blow off but stayed way from liquid cleaners. I see from the Canon video a cleaner recommendation I can use.
If you have salt deposits on the lens I wouldn't use a cloth in case that the blower did not blow them off completely. Salt usualy sticks. Imagine that a small tiny granule is still there and while you are moving the microfiber cloth around the glass the granule gently scratches the sufrace!!
You cant scratch the lens with salt.
I would use a liquid cleaner with a lint free wipe like a peckcap and very gently wipe of the surface. This should remove any small granules of salt remaining on the lens optic.
Why don't you try it on your lens and let us know the result?
